It's pretty clear this morning that Kerry should concede. The numbers just don't add up for him, and this will really start to stink if he holds on much longer. I'm heartened that Bush has shown some sensitivity by choosing not to give a victory speech, but it won't be long before this becomes dangerous political fuel for the now all-powerful GOP.
It's hard to overstate the importance of these election results. No, it wasn't the most important election in recent memory (as some claimed); that happened four years ago. But Bush has massively changed America in the past four years, and now we've validated all that, giving him both an electoral mandate and a strong governing majority. We'll now see the dismantling of Social Security, the final end of our friendship with Europe, and a Supreme Court retooled to push Bush's backwards cultural agenda for 40 years after he's out of office.
